Installation Don'ts
Keep the following items in mind as you install your access point.
•
Do NOT install the access point side with the user input/output facing upward or angled upward,
toward the sky.
•
Do NOT install the access point or open the console cap when precipitation is falling or is about to
fall.
•
Do NOT remove the gland body. If the gland body is accidently loosened, it must be torqued
immediately to 30 in-lbs.
•
Do NOT let moisture, dirt, pollen, or any other debris enter the glands or the console.
•
Do NOT get a pressure washer nozzle closer than 24 inches to the glands, console cap, or vent.

Installation Do's:

Orientation:

The access point can be mounted in almost any orientation.
•
The side with the glands can be horizontal, facing down (ideal position), or anything in-between.
18 ExtremeWireless™ 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E Outdoor AP5050D Access Point
Important
The gland body keeps water from entering the access point.
Note
The access point ships with two black gaskets in the box for use with Category 6 (CAT
6) Ethernet cables with a cable diameter from 6.0mm to 9.2mm. This includes unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) Cat 6 cables. Store these gaskets in a safe place if you do not use them
right away.
The access point has light-gray gaskets pre-installed in the access point glands. The
light-gray gasket handles all CAT 5 and CAT 5E cables, with a cable diameter range from
4.5mm to 6.0mm.
Note
The only mounting orientation restriction is with the access point glands. The best practice
is to have the glands on the downward side to maximize water draining away from the
glands.
